Abstract :

 

Salivary glands are exocrine organs that include both  minor and  major  salivary glands ; widely distributed throughout the mouth and oropharynx. Salivary glands neoplasms account for 6% of all head and neck tumors.1. They are known for their complexiety owing to the heterogeneity of the cells of origin; compounded by their ability to differentiate and modify into various morphological subtypes. Nevertheless the frequent overlap of microscopic features among various neoplasms pose  significant diagnostic dilemma which sometimes may even not be resolved by immunohistochemical studies . FNAC slides of all the patients who presented to our hospital with salivary gland swelling over a period of 1 year from 1/7/2016 to 1/7/2017 were retrieved and reviewed. The available histopathology slides of individual cases will  also be reviewed.

      Cytological study was done based on adequacy,distribution,cellular features and background material. The histomorphological features  like, predominant patterns, cell shape and size, nuclear shape, chromatin pattern, nucleoli, mitosis, cytoplasmic vacuolation, lymphoid aggregates and secondary changes were studied.

  Finally, the cytological features were correlated with the histopathological findings.The statistical analysis  was done by frequency, percentage, sensitivity, specificity, predictive  values and Chi2 test
